I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geoedetic Survey benchmark from 1947 in good condition. It is monumented on the east balustrade in front of the C. Palmer Mechanical Engineering Building on the campus of the University of Nevada. My posted coordinates and the NGS datasheet description will place you very close to this station.
